Project Summary

GREAT WEST NEWSPAPER

The Great West Newspaper project demonstrates the skills and drive of our mechanical design team, in buildings with specific environmental control requirements. This large-scale project was comprised of office space, and a press hall with roll storage. The scope of work included plumbing and ventilation in the office building and press hall, press-related ventilation, and press hall humidification.

This sizable project was a significant undertaking for our mechanical design team; ventilation and humidification systems in the press hall were to be designed with special attention as temperature and humidity had to be specifically controlled and monitored in order to maintain of the moisture content and temperature of the paper.

Specific systems incorporated into Great West Newspaper included a displacement diffuser, incorporated into the press hall; additionally, required duct work was constructed to work at very low velocity.

The final mechanical construction cost was delivered in accordance with the established budget and completed on schedule.
